Are we slackers?

[OnEarth]

Hey, just a question. I am beginning to wake and pray at 6am, 12pm, and 12am. I am going to set aside a holy day to feast with God and give thanks to him. I feel the urge to be more involved in giving time to God in more ways than prayer and church. I feel that so many of us have time for the things that are not important. Such as our jobs, school, entertainment, etc. I mean mostly when we give our free time to these things and put in extra hours for them. I have been fasting and am now finishing up. Something God made VERY clear to me is that he is upset that we give less time to him because we occupy ourselves with the things he's blessed us with. God has asked me to stand like Jeremiah in this day and bring the attention to all of us. It is important that we begin to give him more time because we are becoming the holy that turn his fruit sour. I just ask that you all can help me make a movement for God and devote more time. Maybe some extra prayers, more conversations with him, giving more thanks, and asking him what he would like for us to do for him each day.

Hey, just a question.

Ok . No ... "we" aren't ( at least I am not ) . But , since the Lord told you that you are , may He give you rest in spending time with Him .

I think it is possible that God might prefer folk to help others rather than spend too much time praising him. A god who demands praise is a bit of a big head imo!

God is so great, he is so worthy of praise, I mean he keeps blessing us and testing us. He wants to have a close relationship with each one of us follow the spirit and may you experience the blessings of a Good Father

When I'm using the computer, I usually like to listen to my favorite Contemporary Christian artists. I also listen to them with my CD player during long car rides. In fact, some of my greatest spiritual breakthroughs have occured while I've been listening to Christian music on a car ride.

God doesn't want us to notice how great He is for His benefit.

He wants us to see how great He is for our own benefit.

Why? That doesn't make any sense at all!

To you it doesn't make sence. Thats because you didn't believe the bible as you self told in another post.

If I where you, I would be carefull with what I am saying.

If someone changes facts, written in the bible and teaches others to do so, will be called least in the kingdom of heaven. Teaching others is very simple in a forum.

I can support this with the bible, but since you dont believe the bible, supporting with bible is worthless.

I ask a perfectly reasonable question and get threatened with the 'Big Bad God'! I was spiritually abused in my youth and now in my maturity I feel I have a right to question everything that some folk present as fact. People lock their idea of God up in a box and tie it around with ribbon! I doubt that God wants to be caged in that way!

 

[opakueken]

God wants us to love each other and to honor him. That sums up the whole bible. How can you doubt that God will be honored?

It is just as you said. It is very good for him, since it pleaces God when someone pray to him.

Psalms 1: Blessed is the man who does not walk in the council of the wicked nor stay in the way of sinners, nor sit in the seat of mockers, but his delight is in the law of the LORD and on his law he meditates day and night.

Stay adult man!

I didn't say anthing like this. I aked: "How can you doubt that God will be honored?"

Looking at some of the posts I wonder if I am in a parallel universe, then I remember that the majority of the posters are our cousins from across the BIG PUDDLE.

I would express caution, and suggest that, if you find things for you not going very well, just remember what you say here, and don't forget the word repent.
